Answer in brief
A share transfer in a private company needs a stamped transfer deed (or a demat transfer), board approval and an update to the register of members. We check the articles for restrictions, the right price for tax, whether the shares must first be dematerialised, and complete the board approval, registers and certificate.
Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
